Do you really believe it's utterly impossible that some US soldier shot at, say, an al Jazeera reporter considering such reporters to be part of the terrorist family? No, I don't consider that impossible, considering that Al Jazeera reporters are part of the terrorist family. But I still would be surprised if an American soldier deliberately shot someone who had been pre-identified as an unarmed reporter hanging about with insurgents. Shoot him during the course of a firefight, sure, just as American reporters get killed by IEDs all the time, mistake the glint of a camera for a sitefinder, or give him a hard time once captured. But no, I still doubt the troops would deliberately shoot him.

Do you really believe it's utterly impossible that some US soldier shot at, say, an al Jazeera reporter That is the dumbest possible argument to use to try to prove your outrageous and unfounded contention. If you have any proof, post it. If your combat experience leads you to believe it happened, post it. If you have neither, your continuing comments on this subject are worthless dribble. Unsubstantiated accusations of murdering reporters were bad enough from CNN. Your continuing to defame our combat troops may seem like sport to you. It isn't to me. On their behalf, I'd like to tell you and CNN to FXXX OFF.
